Reti Opening - Repertoire for White after 1.Nf3 d5 2.e3 Completed
Recently, White started using different versions of Reti Opening in order to fight against the solid 1...d5. So far, most of our Reti Opening camps and products have been based on setups including g2-g3. In this camp, GM Davorin Kuljasevic is going for a different approach - 1.Nf3 d5 2.e3 This flexible system has recently been popularized by the German top player Vincent Keymer. White is ready to follow with c2-c4 on the next move. It's very important that Black no longer has the option of playing ...d5-d4 in response to c2-c4. One of the main advantages of this system is that we are not committed to the early d2-d4. Depending on Black's reaction, White will decide when and whether to push the d-pawn. This version of the Reti Opening is very practical since your opponents will have a hard time preparing against it.
